(Monday, July 13, 2009 - 16:39 EDT)

Japan's Cosina Co. Ltd. has announced two new adapters that will allow use of Voigtländer and Carl Zeiss lenses with Nikon F and Pentax K mounts on Micro Four Thirds camera bodies.

The new F and K Micro Four Thirds adapters follow on from the VM Micro Four Thirds adapter announced last March. As with that device, there is no electrical connection passed through by the new adapters - meaning that aperture and focus must be controlled manually.

Pricing for the F and K adapters has been set at ¥19,800 (approximately equivalent to US$210, ignoring exchange rate fluctuations, taxes and duties) - exactly the same as the VM adapter pricing. Availability has not been disclosed at the time of this writing.

The full lens compatibility list for each adapter, as provided by Cosina, is as follows:
